Just curious!

Thanks!

I haven't followed it all either. There aren't enough hours in the day for me as it is, but now that there is a description of the 460 circuit, it would be pretty easy for Telefunken to at least verify/deny that their circuit design is similar. If it's similar, then it's (perhaps arguably) flawed, no matter what tube/tranny is being used.
